Pedestrian/Bicycle

Long Branch Trail Phase II

Phase II of the Long Branch Trail entails a 1.2-mile multimodal corridor that extends from the existing trail at MLK, Jr. Drive to 25th Street, transforming an inactive NCDOT-owned railroad right-of-way. SRI will conduct the outreach activities for the project, starting with a stakeholder and public meetings in March 2025. Our team will actively seek to gather input on design and hardscape/landscape features of the trail. Other activities include pop up events, connection with local neighborhoods and social media/website posts and visuals. This project is being funded by a federal RAISE grant (Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity).

Douglas Park Spur, City of Greensboro, NC

This neighborhood project entails the development of a spur to the existing greenway system. SRI was responsible for the public involvement efforts to ensure that the design of the spur supported the character of the Ole Asheboro neighborhood. Tasks include an online survey, neighborhood meeting, public workshop and website/social media content. The residents of Ole Ashboro neighborhood were very active in the project, providing very useful comments and suggestions.
